Though it does sound a bit vulgar to say it, since you asked...

Larger men have difficulty fitting their genitals into standard round toilet bowls. They tend to contact the inner surface of the bowl, which is both very unpleasant and unsanitary. In order to keep this from happening, they generally have to sit at an uncomfortable angle and too far back on the seat... which can also cause other unpleasant problems.
